Riad Baladin was an amazing place during our time in Morocco. We immediately felt at home by Nicole - she gave us a map of Essaouria to explain where everything is and I simply loved our room - Chambre Amoureux [ lovers room ].... It was furnished beautifully and very tasteful! On top of the Riad is a gorgeous place... More

I stayed here with my friend for two nights in "La Chambre Azur." When we arrive we were greated by Claudia since Nicole was out of town, and her very cute dog. We mentioned we wanted to go horseback riding, so she set us up for a trip the next day. The room was perfect for two young girls to... More

If "not too bad" or "alright" is your bench mark for a room, then I urge you to go to the Baladin. The hostess here is excellent, she has an excellent knowledge of the town and great ideas for excursions. We stayed in the La chambre amoureux which was ok, just. But with no lock on the door, you can't... More

Dear guests of Riad Baladin This review is rather disappointing after the experience we had with those guests: a lovely couple very much in love - so much that they even forgot to close their doors after they had a nice drink up on the terrace and while they also had a great time together back in their room already...

Very clean. Lots of character. Beautiful rooms. Fully functioning lovely bathroom. Great roof terrace. Excellent location. All this is true, but this is only where it begins for this riad. All staff were excellent, willing to do anything for you. The owner, Nicole, is a wonderful hostess and really goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. She... More

We did really enjoy our stay in riad baladin. We were really lucky with the weather and the sun beds on the terrace were great to relax when the weather was hot! Our room was quite small and a little bit tired with the tap and plug sockets a bit loose. The bed wasn't the most comfortable and the mattress... More

Dear guests of Riad Baladin Just a quick reaction to that review: We've been very surprised to read for ones that we give too many recommendations... It's meant like a little help from a friend who gives you maybe more interesting links for things to do and see in Essaouira including some very good Restaurants, Cooking course, Spa visit or...

Had a wonderful 1 week stay in Chambre Grise. The room was fantastic and we took a peek at many of the other rooms which were also great. Service from everybody was superb including breakfast and from the night staff (lighting the fire, preparing the jacuzzi etc). Nicole went to great lengths to ensure we enjoyed our stay including organising... More

The Riad Baladin was a wonderful stop during our recent trip to Morocco. The hotel is clean, warm and friendly. We had a wonderful time and will certainly be heading back there on our next trip. Claudia and all the staff were especially helpful in directing us around the town. The internal architecture and room layout is wonderfully simple and... More
